We commend the following ap- peal to the stockmen of the Terri
 tory for a central organization to
 the careful consideration of every
 cattleman in Apache county:
 The most fallacious mode of
 treating any unsolved question
 touching the general welfare of
 either community or a claes, is to
 wait for time to provide the remedy.
 Such has however been, and is at
 present, the distinguishing traits of
 the live stock growers of Arizona in the matter of guarding their in-
 tercsts from the evils which now
 threaten them and such others as
 tine future may bring forth. With
 the exception of a few, more or less,
 moribund live stock associations in
 various portions of the Territory,
 there has not been in the history
 of Arizona an intelligent and united
 effort on the part of its cattlemen
 to organize for the mutual prOtec- tion of their interests. While every
 other industry has recognized the necessity of pooling it's issues"
 for the purpose of promoting the
 welfare of those interested, the stockmen of the Territory have stood idly by and seen their inter ests sacrificed and made secondary to less important pursuits, simply because the advocates of the latter recognized and utilized the benefits of mutual protective organizations. No better example of this can be given perhaps than the action off the last Legislature in the matter of the imposition of special and direct tax on every head of stock in the Territory for the purpose of providing the few paltry thousand dollars asked by the stockmen for the purposes of maintaining quar- antining restrictions against the i'm portation of infected or diseased animals which might communicate contagious diseases to the herds of 1 the Territory. We cite this exam pie not so much for the purpose of bringing before the public the iR- justice of this extra burden of tax ation, as to show how the stock in terests of the Tcrrit0ry-represent- ing though they may millions of dollars-aro yet subject to the knavery or chicanery of any deina- gogue whom chance may for the moment bring into power. Nor do we find fault with those who lm- posed the tax, so much as with the men who permitted it to be inn posed by not being so organized as to know their rights and maintain them. Who for an instant will be- ieve that the imposition of slmi- lar tax would be tolerated by the miner, the merchant, or the lumber men, yet each of these might, with equal justice, have had an addi- -ional tax placed on his shoulders. As the legislature saw fit to impose the tax and make it a condition for Inc establishment of live stock san .tary commission regulations, we have no desire to see it either con tested or abrogatcd, but use it sim ply to illustrate the absolute neces- sity for the formation of a strong central organlzation to represent .he live stock intercSts--nOt of any 1ne section, but of the Territory.

 The Tombstone Epitaph says as will be seen by our dispatches, the renegades are all on the reservation, and General Miles will depart to- day from Tucson for his post at Los Angeles. Before leaving Gen. Miles will hold consultation with several of the leading men of the Territory. Our Delegate to Con- gress, Mark A. Smith, will meet him at Tucson, and we trust good results will come from this consul tation. Miles is. with the people cf the Territory and will lend his sane ton to any measure tendingt to. our benefit.

tnrOplStS.
 The range business is almost
 thing of the past on the plains.
 There may next year be one more general roundup, but it will proba-
 ply be the last. The country is be-
 ing occupied so rapidly and fences
 are becoming so numerous that af-
 ter next year it will practically be impossible to hold a general round
 up. There will then be compara- lively few range cattle left on the plains and each outfit will be able
 to roundup its own stock.
 This change is being wrought by
 the farmers who are taking up land
 under the homestead and timber claims. AS for the cattlemen, they
 are either going out of the business
 or they arc driving into other states. Some of them are going into Ari- zona and others to Montana, while some are even going so far as the British possessions. The breeding outfits will nearly all move, for it is not profitable to market a large number of COWS, But many of the steer outfits will go out of the busi- ness. They will buy no more cat tie, and thus they will in about three years, by their annual sales, dispose of all their stock.
 It does not follow from this, how ever, that the total number of cattle in Colorado will be reduced The farmers who are coming in will keep small punches of cattle, and thus, on cultivated pastures, there will probably be more cattle fed than has at anytime in the past been maintained upon the range.
 The cattlemen of western Colo rado probably feel safe from all danger of intrusion from grangers and farmers. They are not in the valleys, but are grazing theIr cattle on the plateaus and mesas which surround the valleys, and up to the heights which they occupy they think that the grangers will never come. But in this they are making q mistake. They would do we'll to consider how rank the grass grows on the high mesas in summer, and how heavy the growth of spruce and pine in some places is. Where there is moisture enough to produce . heavy crop of grass and timber 1t is more than probable that there IS moisture enough to bring winter wheat and other small grain to ma .urity.
 The cattlemen of the western slope would find it itproftable if they were to take advantage of their lnowledge of the country to locate good ranches-Denver Republican.

The Silver City Enterprise says that great many cattle:have died upon the MimbEes and other DOT tions of Grant county, from eating a. wood called the rattle weed grow ing in the river bottoms. The first indication of an animals. being af- flicted is noticeable in the swelling of the eyes and a general weakness in the hind legs and spinal column. The eyes become watery and the animal when endeavoring to walk staggers or wabbles somewhat asif affected by loco. Many gradually grow weak and once down from the effects of the weed usually die. The GO outfit and George Williams are reported as the heaviest losers thus far upon the Mimbres.

try are endeav6ring, through thei
 central associations, to satisfactor
 fly settle the many questions whicl have arisen under the law, tn
 stockmen of this Territory calml,
 resign themselves to their fate, con
 tent with a come-day-go-day-God
 send-Sunday policy, that the longer
 1t is pursued the poorer it will leave them.
 These are but few of the many
 subjects now requiring the organi
 zation of a Territorial Live Stock
 Association, yet the importance ot
 these matters alone are enough tc
 convince every thinking man in
 tercsted in the stock business that
 the necessity for such an organiza-
 tion is absolute and pressing. Why
 then delay it longer? No more op, perfume time will certainly ever present itself. As the Territorial Board of Equalization will hold in
 Prescott meeting, as required by law, to consider petitions for the reduction of tax assessments, etc, on the 1st day of August, at which time and place also it is stated the Territorial Live Stock Sanitary Commission will convene, we sug- gest that every stock association in the Territory elect a delegate to every twenty-five members or frac- tion thereof possessed by it, to ap- pear in Prescott on August Ist. to represent 1t in the matter of form ing a Territorial Live Stock Asso- ciatiOn, and that in those sections where no local live stock associa- tions exist, that the individual stock raisers assemble in mass meet ing and elect delegate for the same purpose and on the same basis of representation. The plan is a sim pie one and needs but half the con sideratiOn that is devoted biennial ly to politics by the stockmen of the Territory to make 1t success. Men of intelligence can be found in every section who will accept the duties of delegate, and where such cannot be found representation may be had by proxy. Whatever is to be done in the premises should be done at once, for although the time is ample for prompt action it will not brook unreasonable delay. As 1t means moneyin every stockman's pocket, let every slockman see to it that for once at least, they shake off the lethargy that has bound them to the past, and by doing all in their power to encourage and assist the formation of Territorial organization, ensure to themselves that same consideration and atten- tive protection that is accorded 10 all other industrial pursuits in the Ferritory-Hoof and Horn. ::

AN IMPORTANT TEST.
The Promptness with Which the West
inghousc Brake Works.

A train composed of six passenger coaches
and dining car pulled out of the Baltimore
and Potomac depot yesterday about noon,
carrying about 800 railroad and newspaper
men, patent experts from the Patent Office,
navy engineers, and Others, to see the tests
of the Westinghouse air brake. The special
train stopped on the Washington and Ohio
division Of the Richmond and Danville
system, between Carlin Springs and Falls
Church.
The passengers alightcd at the point where
the tests We're to be made. The spot selected
is lonely one, not n house in sight and
here is the steepcst grade on the road. The
tests were designed 10 show the facility and
power of this system of stopping trains and
all present characterized the exhibition us
"wonderful." One of the tosts was made
with the party which went down to see the
tests aboard, and there was no more
shaking up than ON an ordinary passenger
train
The principle of this brake is similar to
that used on passenger trains, though simpler
and more effective. The train used in max
ing the tests was the one which has been used
for that purpose all over the country. 1t is
fitted with the patent coupler, and the two
ends of the train were connected by tcle-
phone. Three engines were used in making
the tests, one in front and two behind The
tests lasted about three hours, and the spec
past three.
The tests were under the direction of w.
w. Cord, the secretary of the Westinghouse
Company; and H.. IL. Westinghouse, the
brother of the inventor, was present.
Among the prominent people present were
Henry Waters, yice-presidcnt Of the Atlantic
Coast Line; u. 7, b. Meyers, general man
ager of the r., f. and T. Railroad; Chief
Engineers Moore and Williamson, Assistant
| Engineer Wilmer and Ensign Clements of

THE LATE ACT TO DE AMINDED.
This answer 10 his question being re-
peatcd to Senator Edmunds, who is sec
ond on the Senate Committee on For
cign Relations, he said, without reserve,
that it was not intended that when the
act mentioned was passed foreign govern
ments should not be allowed in the future
to acquire property for the use of their
legations in the District of Columbia,
and doubtless the act so far as it pro-
hibited their doing so would be amended.
The Chairman of the Senate Commit
tee on Foreign Relations, Senator Sher-
man, when few days after his arrival
your correspondent spoke to him of the
effects of the act as above set forth, said
that he had not had his attention called
TO it before, and added that of course it
was desirable to have foreign govern
mnnts own their legation building in
Washington, and that there would he no
difficulty in having the act amended SO
ms TO enable them to do so whenever
they wished land for the purpose. lie
said he would see to IL himself.
Senator Call. who seems from the
Congressional RCcord's report of the
progress of this act in the House and
Senate, to have been the only legislator
who objected to its being ut the last
rushed through, saving IL was too i'm
portant bill for hasty action to be taken
on ii at the end of u session, when every
one was in too much of n hurry to get
away (this he said in the Senate Cham
Der in August, 1856, just before Congress
adiourncd), 10 look carefully into all the
provisions of the law and consider the
effects of each, remarked this week that
| he thought il bad policy to prohibit
foreign governments from acquiring
property in the District of Columbia fol
The use of their legations. He said he
| had no doubt the law would be amended
in respect TO its preventing the buying
or building by foreign governments ol
houses for their legations, but he thought
it had other Objectionable features also
The District of Columbia was not nance
in the original bill (a house bilD, bu
was put in in the Senate.
The act in the form in which it be
came u lawwas not debated at all in eithe
House or Senate. II passed the Senate
August 4, 'S6. in the hurry of the las
night of the session. Last December ;
conference committee upon it was up
pointed, and the report of that commit
ice was accepted by the House, withou

Waste of Tissue without Repair.

Nigor begins to decline when dyspepsia i'll
vades the stomach. The disease, prolonged
through neglect entails gricvous loss ofilcsh
and serious waste of the muscular tissue. To
invigorate thoroughly and speedily, sound
stomachic is required. There is none COM
parable to Hostotter's Stomach Bittcrs, since
it institutes, and, il continued, perpetuates a
repair of the tissues, which have declined in
bulk, yigor and elasticity in consequence of
non-assiinilation of the food. No time
should be lost in beginning the reparatve
process, nor should there be any delay in
removing those ailments Of frequent occur
